UNSPSC 31311513: Brass welded or brazed pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311513 Brass welded or brazed pipe assemblies, a Commodity code, shows limited activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code predominantly address broader industrial pipe, water infrastructure, and plumbing services rather than brass welded or brazed assemblies specifically. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department (IFB 26-SW-0379, due August 12, 2026) solicited industrial pipe supply including HDPE and PVC pipe with fittings and hand tools on an as-needed basis for a three-year term with two optional one-year extensions, requiring 24- to 48-hour delivery and local inventory maintenance. A School Board of Sarasota County procurement (Bid #26-0038, due January 7, 2026) sought time-and-materials plumbing services with journeyman technicians on-site, and Orange County, Florida (IFB Y26-126, due January 22, 2026) sought sewer pipes and fittings across 56 line items including PVC, ductile iron, valves, and manhole components with an estimated five-year spending total of approximately $28.7 million. These opportunities reflect municipal and county demand for commodity pipe, fittings, and related plumbing infrastructure on standing contracts rather than specialized brass welded or brazed assemblies.

Activity concentrates in Florida counties and select Arizona and California municipalities. The City of Phoenix, Sarasota County, Orange County, and Pasco County, Florida dominate recent postings. Geographic spread extends to Barnwell County, South Carolina (waterline replacement), Brevard County, Florida (outfall pipe replacement), Santa Clara County, California (pavement rehabilitation with traffic infrastructure), and Alameda County, California (copper tubing supply). No standout repeat issuing bodies emerge across the recent opportunities. The code shows modest recent procurement volume relative to the breadth of water infrastructure and plumbing-services solicitations—the actual work being bought does not consistently match the brass welded or brazed assemblies product line, suggesting the code may be serving as a secondary or catch-all classification rather than the primary category for these opportunities.
